TACKLE

Limited tackle is available at the lodge. Lures are not provided though some are available for purchase. We strongly recommend you bring a quality outfit for use and your own lures.

Equipment for Bass Fishing:  Minimum 15 kg line on a solid bait caster reel like the Abu 6500 and 7000.  Shimano also have great reels such as the Calcutta 300 and 400 and their TE series.  Braided or Mono line is a personal preference.  15 kg to 24 kg rods around 6 feet need to be strong but not too stiff as to make casting difficult.  

Popular lures with the Bass are the Rapala skitter pops in all colours.  Minnow type lures such as the Halco 125 mm, Rapala Xrap and the SMITH Saruna in similar sizes are also good a mix of shallow and deep diver should always be included.  We find the mullet colours are effective.  For the inshore pelagic, deep divers around the reefs work well and large poppers for the GTs.  Wire trace is recommended for the razor gang species.  Smaller skirted lures from 3” to 6” are good fore tuna and sailfish.
